[SOLVED] (Thank you) C# taking the result of a sum in an if statement and using it outside that statement.
Hi, I'm still pretty new to coding, I'm currently trying to complete a small project, that i would appreciate a little bit of help on please? I'm writing a fairly basic battle simulation program and I've encountered a snag. https://code.sololearn.com/cA180a8a2a3a A quick explanation of the code above: section 1 takes input about units for 2 armies. it wants numbers for differing unit types for your army, and the enemy army, and then outputs that information in a summation section 2 uses the information gathered in section one to set up some battle parameters - namely the size of the battlefield, via checks on troop types for range in a series of if-else statements. section 3 will involve the two armies facing each other from the lines drawn in section 2 as their start point and will start moving towards each other to engage in battle. and this is where I've hit my snag. Ideally what I need to do from here is use the information gathered in the section 2 as a basis for calculations on range, that will effect movement across the battlefield, but the variable I've been using in the if statements: "battleFieldSize" isn't transferable out of the if statements in section 2. it throws up the following error when I try to use it: "The name 'battleFieldSize' does not exist in the current context" how can i transfer the information gathered from the section 2 if statements to section 3 please? FYI, in code playground the code doesn't seem to have the same functionality as in VS. to get it to work as intended to this point, input 6 numbers at 0 or greater. I've also commented out an if statement in section 3, that I've used as an example of what I mean.
